Answer:

-5 & 2 & infinite

Explanation:

We need to refer to the equation for slopes in order to find the solution. Such is y=mx+b.

This is truly helpful since the slope usually is outwardly stated. For instance, m= the slope of the line, & b= the y-intercept.

Thus, the first line's slope= -5

In addition, the second line's slope= 2

x= the amount of times the slope is repeated, and can be any number because nothing is specified.

I hope this helped!!
